He'll also get a gig in the CB as the receiver, getting hands from Hopper/Cotch and delivering deep forward.

Dunno why we’re trying Ralph and Mansell off half back when that’s always been Short’s best spot.
Now that we have Hopper and Taranto, stick him back where he won a JD Medal. He needs the ground in front of him with space. Not so good in the traffic and 360 situations.
Let him defend and clear off half back again.

Ralph and Mansell aren't going to be in the ones. They're trying to find a place for Short because The Prince and Bakes have the small defender spots. JD or no JD, they're better than him.
Centre square ain't it though. I thought Lambo role.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Short is a star. He's also a verry popular snr plyer.
You don't become a dual Premiership player, JDM medalist if you're not.
That said. He's got to lift. pressure is coming from below in the roles he plays..
That is a very good thing BTW.

I think he makes The Prince better if he plays hbf.
As with Houli, having 2 attacking options is too much for the bad guys.
But can we play all 3 including Bakes? Too small down back?
Maybe he's role is a Lambo twist. Starts half forward but shifts to deep rebound (a kick behind the stoppage /hbf)
And then open the throttles and run
Yeah, heard that. Seems “verse” as in going up against someone and not part of a song is here to stay. I guess they say the English language keeps devolving , sorry, evolving…..
interesting dilemma - and a good one to have.
I saw Lamberts role written all over Judy’s goal yesterday - sets up play on the wing then receives near the goal square for a major.
They hear 'Richmond versus Carlton' (Richmond against Carlton) and think it's 'Richmond verses Carlton' (Richmond plays Carlton). So we get 'who are we versing next week?' and abominations like that.
Yeah, I'm not bagging Short, Oldie. But Daniel is the best line-breaking HBF in the comp. And Bakes is a ground-ball-winning terrier. Seven defenders: Tarrant, Balta, Grimes, Broad, Vlastuin, Rioli, Baker. Am I wrong? As I said, they're trying to find Shorty a spot because they want him in the team, but who would you rather in the midfield, Short or Sonsie? Who would you rather in the forward line, Short or Cumbo? On the wing - Short or KMac/Marlion?
I'm sure he'll play most if not every game. I'm just not sure where.
Can see a Brandon Ellis situation again.
Being ruthless without being seen as ruthless by the playing group.

Shorty had a bad game. One moment in particular was egregious and as a senior player, he should do better. He gathered the ball on the edge of the square near the wing. Had time to turn and assess his options. Corr coming at him front-on. Juddy Clarke to his right. Just has to draw the man, give the handball and Juddy's off to the races and we likely get a shot at goal. Instead he tries to dummy the man and duck back inside. Corr's not having it because everyone in the league knows Short doesn't handball. Takes Short front-on, ball spills (probably should have been droping the ball), The Prince mops up but Ziebell wins it back and they go down and goal.
Selfish play by Short. Just because you're the deisgnated kicker doesn't mean you always have to kick. I hope it's pointed out to him. Give that ball, especially to a whippet like Clarke, especially to a kid, especially in a practice game, but most especially because it's the right play no matter who was in the jumper except maybe Soldo.

Could not agree more.
It was evident yesterday as we were constantly out marked in our back line.
This why.
North Melbourne went with a very tall forward line, with Nick Larkey, Callum Coleman-Jones, Charlie Comben and Eddie Ford all featuring; Comben in particular having some promising moments up against established Richmond defenders like Dylan Grimes, Robbie Tarrant (playing a half each) and Noah Balta.
